Hi, In the system/overview/security there is a "high" that says the following: I have DirectAdmin and should be able to adjust it myself. I did find how to get to the php disable_functions in DirectAdmin, but have no idea what to add or remove from it. The following is mentioned: system,exec,shell_exec,passthru,proc_get_status,proc_nice,proc_terminate,dl,popen,pcntl_exec What is it and why does it have such a high security risk? Can I make it secure without any problems? How do I make it secure? TIA,

I am using IPS Community Suite Pages Pages 4.1.11.1 as a web site. How do I add social media share buttons to the pages as I would like to use this feature. I also have the theme Twilight 4.1.8 installed and set as the only one. Thank you for any help you can give. The site is located at larnacataxis dot com (not sure if I was allowed to post a link so did it like this not to offend)

Hi all, Just recently purchase the IP suite, after previously running a successful forum nearly 10 years ago now, I'm excited to get back into the game! I have a question though first - is there a way I can hide the number of posts within a forum (as attached). If possible I would like to hide that stat until it becomes a figure less likely to put off new members, who may think there's little activity (as there will be to start). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Apologies if there is nothing on search, I have searched but had no luck, but either way thought it was a good way to introduce myself to everyone regardless. Thanks

Back in about 2006/07 I purchased an IPB licence (I think it was during version 2). I've since forgotten the email and password I used to log in and am wondering how I'd go about getting it?

How does one set the session length in 4.1.x please? I'm really only concerned with the Admin Group as we often get logged out when working on themes which sometimes means losing a lot of work.

Is it possible for users to mark themselves as "invisible," so their online status is hidden? I thought there was an option for this but can't seem to find it. Can someone please point me in the right direction? *EDIT* Thanks, @Square Wheels! I was searching for "invisible" when I should have been searching for "anonymous." Your answer helped me find the correct spot.

Hi, I have noticed the setting that lets you set a theme per page but can't seem to get it working right. Should I be able to have a theme set to a page/forum section so that when a user visits that page they see the new theme? And when they return to a page with the original them it swaps back? I want to duplicate my theme, then set certain pages to use different themes with header images specific to that section. Can I do this?

I can see that one can select payment methods accepted for products but how do I set this up for donations? Right now my members could technically send donations with POINTS! I use points economy as it is integral to how I run my site, and I can turn points on and off for each product but not donations. Thankfully I have a honest bunch but that certainly isn't a solution.

Is there was way in htaccess maybe to strip/hide the database numbers of forums? Example: https://invisionpower.com/forums/forum/505-product-guidance/ becomes: https://invisionpower.com/forums/forum/product-guidance/ It does not work in Friendly URLs, it still needs the ID. Figured something in htaccess could strip or hide it. Thanks

Hello, I would like the order that my subforms are listed to be linked to which forum has the most recent post/topic. Is this currently possible? Just be clear, I'm happy with my main forum structure, but in some of the sections I would like the subforms to be linked to recent post order in the same way that topics are. Thanks. Ben

This is in regards to Pages. Let's assume a website with a homepage, news articles and review articles. The goal is for the home page to show a mix of news and reviews in order of publication, and news to be browsable at http://www.example.com/news and reviews at http://www.example.com/reviews. When I say "mix", I mean that a plain list (or array) of recent articles could contain any number of news (N) articles and review (R) articles, in any order, e.g. "NRRNRNRRNNRNNRRNN". Using a single database called "articles" for both types of articles (not a problem as such, fields are the same) and categories for news and reviews, I get for example http://www.examp…

Seeing how IPS opted not to have a lightbox (image carrousel) on mobile view with IP.Content and IP.Board, I am wondering if after purchasing and installing IP.Gallery, I will now have the capability to see multiple images within a database article/record and/or forum post displayed as a carrousel while on mobile view. IP.Gallery does display images using lightbox while on mobile view. If this would work with IP.Content and IP.Board as well, then I would go ahead and purchase IP.Gallery.

Hello ! I used Nexus along with Paypal in order to allow my board's members to pay a small subscription (amount of money) to a non-profit organisation, so that we can pay for my board's server, licences, etc. Once they had paid, the members were automatically placed in a special group and thus were given access to downloads areas where they could download files created only for them (and which helps them in their work). Since I upgraded to IPB version 4 recently, all this is no longer working. I've checked the Commerce application : - In "Products", I still have my subscription. - In "Payment settings", then in "Payment Methods", I edited "Paypal" …

Hello, We are about to change webhost and for I has some questions regarding license, changes and even content. We got two domains, One assigned to the new website, which I am going to use while I test the transfer, while still keeping the original website alive. Once I know everything works I am going to make the "big" move and move the site altogether.. 1. How do I change license on a site, for example I am going to make a copy and have it run a test license just to check that the moving is working. But if I just copy the site right off the bat and then set it up on another domain, it will interfere with the original site yes? 2. Other than …
